Chris Hemsworth Attached To Star In Michael Mann's Untitled Cyber Attack Thriller



Variety reports that Michael Mann (Heat, Manhunter, Collateral) is developing yet another possible project that is looking to be shot this Summer. This one has Chris Hemsworth (Avengers, Rush) attached to star with a June start date and has Mann co-writing the script with Morgan Davis Foehl (Mass Effect). Not much is known about the film setup at Legendary Pictures but it will be a thriller set in the world of cyber threats and attacks. Hemsworth was looking to shooting Robopocalypse for Steven Spielberg this Summer but that film's production has been delayed.

Gemma Arterton & Andrew Garfield Joining Michael Mann's Capa

Gemma Arterton revealed to Total Film (via ThePlaylist) that she is replacing Eva Green in Michael Mann's Capa. The film is based on the life of photographer Robert Capa and the novel Waiting For Robert Capa written by Susana Fortes. Arterton also says that Andrew Garfield is lined up for a role I assume Capa.

It's curious when it will actually happen as Mann's Big Tuna sounds like the better project and is currently being scripted by Sheldon Turner (Up In The Air). It would make sense that both actors could be ready to make Capa after their two large productions Spider-Man (Garfield) and Wrath of The Titans (Arterton).

Screenwriter Hired For Michael Mann's Big Tuna

Variety reports that Michael Mann has hired screenwriter Sheldon Turner to work on Big Tuna. The gangster film will focus on Chicago crime lord Tony Accardo, and his young protege Sam Giancana. Turner is best known for his work on Up In The Air screenplay. While Public Enemies was a disappointment I still have faith in the director and expect big things from this project.
